Judge tosses out George Zimmerman's defamation lawsuit against NBC

In 2012, George Zimmerman sued NBC Universal for defamation, claiming the network edited his 911 call to make him sound like a “racist, predatory villain.”

NBC claimed the edits were unintentional, and a Florida judge agreed:

Judge Nelson throw out George Zimmerman’s defamation lawsuit against NBC. Cites lack of evidence of defamation or intent by NBC #fox35

Big win for NBC: Judge throws out #GeorgeZimmerman libel suit. Zim also fails on claim that NBC intentionally inflicted emotional damage.
